This post is an update on the June 27th post Update on Sunflower Granny Squares and an Agriculture Report, and I wanted to share a cool community garden I stumbled across.
Sunflower Granny Square Blanket Progress
I’ve completed 21 blocks for the sunflower themed crochet blanket I am working on. Here they are on the “design carpet”.
Here is a close up of one of the blocks:
I am using 6 different yarns: a variegated brown for the center of each flower; 3 different yarns for the petals in oranges and yellows; a green for the “partially opened flowers”; and an oatmeal for the background.
It’s been fun coming up with different color combinations (but making sure they still sort of resemble sunflowers) as I work on it. I might add a 4th petal yarn if I find another one in my stash that works.
I think I will make 100 granny squares and I’ve already started 20 more centers to make my next round of 20 or so.
Cool Community Garden
I was killing time before my dentist appointment last week and went for a little walk in the area near the dentist office, and discovered a cool community garden at an apartment complex.
I am not sure how it works and how the apartment community residents split up the harvest but here are some photos from my walk around of the garden (and I was smiling the whole time).
